LORE
A couple of hundred years ago, The Order of the Broken Mirror was transporting a legendary artifact for the Pope; an artifact that was supposed to turn the tide of war between the Church and the witches. The flotilla of the order’s ships was its own small army, and among the soldiers were seven preyers: sinners turned witch hunters.
Due to a mistake, or perhaps the work of more sinister forces, the ships first lost their way, then crashed against the edge of a territory of a powerful witch. We know this now, after the Church finally found the wrecks, but the location of the flotilla and the fate of the order were unknown for two hundred years.
To understand what happened exactly, and especially what happened to the artifact, the Pope has sent one of the best preyers to ever work for the Church: you. This is your final mission before the Pope forgives your unforgivable sins and relieves you of your contract. Your orders are clear: learn what happened, find the artifact, and kill the witch.
But how can you achieve alone what seven preyers could not?
Everyone is dead. The order is dead. The priests and the nuns, the generals and the foot soldiers, the cooks, and the seven preyers. Were they no match for the Witch of the Black Sea, or is something else going on here? Whatever the answer, today there is only one of you against the witch’s undead hordes.
During those two hundred years, the Vatican’s Workshop that supports the preyers with magical gear has grown and improved. The weapons are deadlier, the spells more advanced. Thanks to the mirror portal, you can use the Workshop to your advantage. But is this enough?
